It’s a very quiet Soi with no shops or stores and is comprised solely of condominiums and apartments with a nice hotel (Arcadia) next to the apartment. The Hotel Arcadia has a tuk tuk, which I took frequently for a short one or two minute ride to Ploen Chit BTS Station and Suk. From that corner at Suk, you can take the elevator to the second floor of the station. I generally gave the driver a 20b tip for his trouble.
Between the hours of 5pm to 7pm, there is a lot of commuter traffic on this Soi attempting to take a short cut to Suk from Wireless Road but it is quiet the rest of the time. Soi Lai Nert is totally safe to walk at night and takes about 7 minutes to the apartment from Suk.
You can walk in about 2 minutes from apartment to a new mall across from Wireless Road and the nearby Movenpick. There is a small Villa Market grocery store, a Starbucks, a tea cafe, pharmacy, and several other restaurants.
The Hotel Arcadia located next store has a nice inexpensive 119b lunch and you can use their nice pool as well if you purchase food or drinks. They also serve dinner and breakfast.
There is a ferry service serving many areas of Bangkok vía the canals and is primarily used by local commuters. Walk towards the Movenpick Hotel from the unit and take a right at the corner of Wireless Road and Soi Lai Nert. Walk straight on the sidewalk under the overpass, which will take you directly to the pier. Under ten minutes.
Eastbound, the ferry stops at Soi 3, then Soi 15. It’s an interesting and less congested way of going to Soi 11 from the pier at Soi 15. About 10b for a ride.
The cable service in apartment offers virtually no English speaking channels with the exception of Russia Today. The WiFi worked fine during my stay but does not work in the rooftop pool area.
